PROVISION FOR DEBTS AND EXPENSES
~ 6. I I direct that any of my legaIJy enforceable debts, any expenses of my last illness,

BUSINESS INTERESTS
~ 7.1 In the event any business interest should be an asset of my estate, whether the

whether wholJy owned, controlled by me or owned in substantial part by me, I authorize the
Executor, subject to the terms of any agreement I may have made for the sale of my interests, to
continue said business until such time as the Executor shalJ deem it advisable to seIJ, to liquidate
or to distribute the same in kind. With respect to any sale or exchange ofthe stock of any such
business interest and in the absence of any such agreement entered into by me prior to my death, I
direct the Executor to consider and to determine the appropriateness of a sale or redemption of
such stock in accordance with Section 303 of the Internal Revenue Code to the business entity
and a possible deferral of federal estate tax payments under Section 6166 ofthe Internal Revenue
Code. It is my desire that to the extent possible any business interest which I may own at the
time of my death be continued or disposed of only in an orderly manner so as to maximize the
proceeds of any disposition. If an election under the foregoing provisions will effect such desire,
the Executor is encouraged to pursue such election if the Executor deems such election also to be
in the best interests of my estate and the beneficiaries thereof. The Executor shalJ have all rights

going concern, to form or to reform a general or limited partnership, to incorporate or to
reincorporate and to liquidate or to sell the same or any part thereof as the Executor deems it
advisable for the best interests of my estate and of the beneficiaries thereof without the necessity
of any order of court and without any liability for loss resulting from the operation of said
business except when such loss is the result of gross negligence or fraud on the part of the
Executor.

R'~venue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or the corresponding provision of
subsequent law.

S 8.4 Whenever a fiduciary is directed to distribute property to or for the benefit of any
beneficiary who is under (a) twenty-one (21) years of age, or (b) a legal disability or otherwise
suffers from an illness or mental or physical disability that would make distribution directly to
such beneficiary inappropriate (as detennined in such fiduciary's sole discretion exercised in
good faith), the fiduciary may distribute such property to the person who has custody of such
beneficiary, may apply such property for the benefit of such beneficiary, may distribute such
property to a custodian for such beneficiary, whether then serving or selected and appointed by
the fiduciary (including the fiduciary), under any applicable Unifonn Transfers to Minors Act or
Unifonn Gifts to Minors Act, may distribute such property to the guardian of such beneficiary's
estate, may distribute such property directly to such beneficiary's estate, or may distribute such
property directly to such beneficiary (except if any of the conditions hereinbefore desl'ribed in (b)
apply), without liability on the part of the fiduciary to see to the application of such property.

such property or to prevent the absolute vesting thereof in such beneficiary.

THE THOMAS H. SEMMEL REVOCABLE TRUST
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 25th day of May, 1999, by
and between THOMAS H. SEMMEL, of Upper Allen Township, Cumberland County,

"Trustee").
WI TNE S SETH:
WHEREAS, the Settlor may be desirous in the future of placing the active
management and control of certain property in the hands of the Trustee.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of their mutual covenants and
promises, the Settlor and Trustee agree as follows:
ARTICLE ONE
TRUST ASSETS
91,1 The Settlor, or any other party or person, may from time to time make policies of
insurance on the Settlor's life, individual retirement account benefits, and/or qualified or non-
qualified retirement plan benefits payable to the Trustee, or may transfer assets to the Trustee,
subject to the terms ofthis Agreement, by inter vivos grant or by Will. The trust assets shall

,
()
n
added assets (collectively the "Trust Assets"), which shall be held, administered, distributed and
governed by the Trustee, IN TRUST NEVERTHELESS, in accordance with the provisions of
this instrument and any amendments hereto.
ARTICLE TWO
DURING THE SETTLOR'S LIFETIME
g2.1 During the Settlor's lifetime, the Trustee shall have, hold, manage, invest and
reinvest the Trust Assets, collect the income, and
g2.1.1 The Trustee shall payor apply the entire net income as
the Settlor may from time to time direct in writing. The Trustee shall also
pay to the Settlor such sums from or portions ofthe principal of the trust
as the Settlor may from time to time request in writing delivered to the
Trustee during the Settlor's lifetime.
g2.1.2 The Trustee shall pay and use such portion or all of the
income and principal of the Trust Assets as the Trustee, in the Trustee's
sole discretion, shall deem necessary from time to time to provide for the
proper maintenance, support, medical, hospital, nursing or nursing home
care of the Settlor and of the Settlor's wife, EVELYN M. SEMMEL (the
"Settlor's Wife").
ARTICLE THREE
UPON THE SETTLOR'S DEATH
g3.1 Upon the death ofthe Settlor, the Trustee shall divide and distribute the balance of
the Trust Assets as follows:
g3.1.1 Ifthe Settlor's Wife survives the Settlor, the Trustee
shall retain in trust an amount equal to the value of the balance of the Trust
Assets (determined on the basis of the values finally determined for federal
estate tax purposes), reduced by an amount, if any, needed to increase the
Settlor's taxable estate so that the federal estate tax as finally determined
-2-
'~.1 .'
, . .
t~)
()
(taking into consideration adjusted taxable gifts) will equal the Settlor's
unified credit, the credit for previously taxed property and the state death
tax credit (to the extent that the use of said credit does not result in an
increase in the state death taxes otherwise payable) available against such
tax, assuming that an election were made to qualify all qualified
terminable interest property, other than the trust provided for under
Article Five of this Agreement, for the federal estate tax marital deduction
whether or not such election is actually made. This trust may be
composed of cash, of property in kind or partly of cash and partly of
property in kind, shall be funded only with property which qualifies for the
federal estate tax marital deduction in the Settlor's estate, valued at the
date of distribution, and which, to the extent other property is available,
shall not include property for which a foreign death tax credit is available.
The Executor ofthe Settlor's estate shall have the right to elect on the
federal estate tax return prepared on behalf of the Settlor's estate to have a
portion or all of the property distributed pursuant to this g3.1.1 treated as
qualified terminable interest property in order to qualify such portion or all
of the property for the marital deduction for federal estate tax purposes,
which election shall be binding and conclusive upon the Trustee. If the
Settlor's Executor elects to have a portion or all of such assets so qualify,
such elected assets may, at the discretion of the Trustee and so long as the
election to qualify such assets for the federal estate tax marital deduction is
not jeopardized, be held and administered by the Trustee as a separate trust
estate with the balance, if any, of the assets which are governed by this
g3.1.1 also held and administered as a separate trust estate or may be held
and maintained by the Trustee with the non-elected assets as one trust
estate. In either case, any such trust or trusts shall be held, administered
and disposed of in accordance with the provisions of Article Four hereof
(the "Marital Trust").
g3.I.2 The Trustee shall retain in trust such of the Trust Assets
as shall not have been retained pursuant to the preceding g3.I.l, to be
held, administered and disposed of in accordance with the provisions of
Article Five hereof (the "Unified Credit Trust").

holding such unproductive property either to make any or all of such
property productive or to convert such property within a reasonable time

any trust created herein, the principal of which is or becomes too small in

property or, if there is more than one beneficiary, to the beneficiaries then
entitled to the income of the trust property, in proportion to their

~8.2.8 To allocate between the trusts established by

principal, such apportionment to be made so as to balance fairly the
interests of any income beneficiary and the remaindermen;
98.2.13 To make elections, decisions, concessions and
settlements in connection with all income, estate, inheritance, gift or other
tax returns and the payment of such taxes, without obligation to adjust the
distributive share of income or principal of any person thereby affected;
98.2.14 To merge, after the death of the Settlor, any trust
created hereunder with any other trust or trusts created by the Settlor or the
Settlor's Wife, under will or deed, if the terms of any such trust are then
substantially similar and are held for the primary benefit of the same
persons, and if such merger shall not cause any adverse estate, income or
generation skipping transfer tax consequences; and
98.2.15 The Settlor's Executor is authorized to allocate any of
the Settlor's exemption from federal generation-skipping transfer tax
under Section 2631(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Settlor's GST
Exemption"), to any property as to which the Settlor is the transferor,
including any property transferred by the Settlor during the Settlor's
lifetime as to which the Settlor did not make an allocation prior to the
Settlor's death, regardless of whether or not the property with respect to
which an election or allocation is made is part of the Settlor's probate
estate. Any such election or allocation shall be binding upon the Trustee
and any beneficiary of any trust created hereunder. The Trustee is directed
to divide any trust created under this Will into two (2) or more separate
trusts, if necessary, to segregate the portion or portions of the trust or trusts
created hereunder over which the Settlor's GST Exemption has been
-10-
allocated (the "GST Exempt Trusts") from the portion or portions of the
trust or trusts created hereunder over which the Settlor's GST Exemption
has not been allocated (the "Non-GST Exempt Trusts"); provided,
however, that any such separated trusts shall be held, administered and
disposed of in accordance with the terms hereunder as identical trusts in all
other respects, except as provided in ~ 6.1.5 above;
ARTICLE NINE
BUSINESS INTERESTS
~9.1 In the event any business interest should be a Trust Asset, whether the same
involves a proprietary interest, a partnership interest or stock in a closely-held corporation, either
wholly owned, controlled by the Trustee or owned in substantial part by the Trustee, the Trustee
is authorized, subject to the terms of any agreement which the Settlor or the Trustee may have
made for the sale of such interest, to continue said business until such time as the Trustee shall
deem it advisable to sell, liquidate or distribute the same in kind. With respect to any sale or
exchange of the stock of any such business interest and in the absence of any such agreement
entered into by the Settlor or the Trustee, the Trustee is directed to consider and determine the
appropriateness ofa sale or redemption of such stock in accordance with Section 303 of the
Internal Revenue Code to the business entity and a possible deferral of federal estate tax
payments under Section 6166 of the Internal Revenue Code. It is the Settlor's desire that, to the
extent possible, any such business interest be continued or disposed of only in an orderly manner
so as to maximize the proceeds of any disposition. If an election under the foregoing provisions
will effect such desire, the Trustee is encouraged to pursue such election if it deems such election
-11-
also to be in the best interests of the trust(s) created hereunder and the beneficiaries thereof. The
Trustee shall have all rights and powers in connection with such business as an owner thereof,
including specifically the power at any time and from time to time to operate or to join in the
operation of the same as a going concern, to form or to reform a general or limited partnership, to
incorporate or to reincorporate and to liquidate or to sell the same or any part thereof as the
Trustee deems advisable for the best interests of the trust(s) created hereunder and the
beneficiaries thereof without the necessity of any order of court and without any liability for loss
resulting from the operation of said business, except when such loss is the result of gross
negligence or fraud on the part of the Trustee.
ARTICLE TEN
DUTIES AND RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO POLICIES
S 1 0.1 The Settlor and the Trustee shall have the following duties and rights with respect
to all insurance policies payable to the Trustee (the "Policies"):

or assessments on any of the Policies and shall be under no obligation with
respect to the Policies, except for safekeeping during the Settlor's lifetime
and to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to herein.
S 1 0.1.2 With respect to any of the Policies, the Settlorreserves
to himself, during his ownership of said Policies and during his lifetime,
all rights, payments, dividends, surrender values and benefits of any kind
which may accrue on account of any ofthe Policies, and the right at any
time to assign, pledge or use said Policies, or any of them, or to change the
beneficiary thereof to borrow money thereon, or for any purpose, without
the consent, approval or joinder of the Trustee or any beneficiary
hereunder. It is the intent of the Settlor, with regard to said Policies, that
-12-
n
this instrument shall be operative only with respect to the proceeds of such
of the Policies as maybe due and payable to the Trustee at the time of the
death of the Settlor or thereafter, after deduction of all charges against the
Policies by reason of advances, loans, premiums, or otherwise; and the
receipt of the Trustee for such proceeds shall release the insurance
companies from liability on the Policies.
~ I 0.1.3 The Settlor agrees and directs that, upon his death, the
proceeds of all Policies which are then subject to the terms of this
instrument shall be paid in accordance with the directions then set forth in
said Policies or the beneficiary designations then attached thereto. If the
proceeds of said Policies are payable to the Trustee, the Trustee may
institute any proceeding at law or in equity in order to enforce the payment
thereof, and may do and perform any and all other acts and things which
may be necessary, for the purpose of collecting any sums which may be
due and payable under the terms of said Policies; it being distinctly
understood, however, that the Trustee shall not, except at its option, enter
into or maintain any litigation to enforce the payment of said Policies until
it shall have been guaranteed indemnification by one or more of the
beneficiaries of this instrument to its satisfaction against all expenses and
liabilities to which it may, in its judgment, be subjected by any such
action. The Trustee is authorized to compromise and adjust claims arising
out of the Policies, or any ofthem, upon such terms and conditions as it
may deem just, and the decision of the Trustee shall be binding and
conclusive upon all parties interested therein.
ARTICLE ELEVEN
PROVISION FOR TAXES. DEBTS AND EXPENSES

Settlor's death to any government or subdivision thereof upon or with respect to any property
subject to any such tax, and any penalties thereon, or any portion thereof, in the Trustee's sole
-13-
discretion, without reimbursement, out of the principal of that portion of Trust Assets disposed of
by of Article Five hereof.

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or the corresponding provision of
subsequent law.

()
support a beneficiary of a trust created hereunder shall participate in the exercise of any

property directly to such beneficiary (except if any of the conditions hereinbefore described in (b)

trust property shall be distributed to the beneficiary then entitled to the income of the trust
property or, ifthere is more than one beneficiary, to the beneficiaries then entitled to the income
